Your First Page: First Pages and What They Tell Us about the Pages that Follow Them: Revised Workshop and Classroom Edition

Comment on the first edition

“With an emphasis on the creative process itself, I have long taught the critical importance of the first few pages of any work of fiction. What a delight to find a smart, perceptive, enormously useful book that focuses on the craft and technique issues of these same make-or-break first 500 words. I heartily recommend Peter Selgin’s Your First Page to any aspiring young writer. — Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of From Where You Dream, The Process of Writing Fiction
